Missions Conference: Join us.

Every year, Bible Institute students around the world participate in Missions Conference, focusing for a few days on how God can use them to reach the world with His truth.

Missions Conference is always an exciting time for students, and some alumni have asked how they can be a part of it. This year, alumni are invited to join the New York campus's Mission Conference from January 4-6, with housing available to those who would like to stay for the weekend and hear what God is doing in the world.

Calvin Varlack, Class of 1978, will be the special speaker. He and his wife, Sylvia, have been Word of Life missionaries to the people of the Netherland Antilles for 15 years. Calvin is the senior pastor of Abundant Grace Fellowship and has been instrumental in starting several Christian organizations that work with moral, social, and missions development.

Calvin will join Harry Bollback and Don Lough, Jr. in speaking on this year's theme, "Outspoken," as drawn from Acts 4:20: "For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard."

Students will be challenged to think about worldwide missions and continue in their commitment to Christ, but alumni are also welcome to come, be encouraged, and talk with staff, fellow alumni, or students about what God is doing in the world and in their lives.

Alumni can stay at the Word of Life Inn. Rooms are $170 for Friday and Saturday night, and each room can fit four people. Meals will be at the Bible Institute. For reservations, call 518-494-6000.

Alumni can also stay at the Bible Institute for $50 per person (Friday night through Sunday lunch), including meals. Guests need to provide their own bedding and towels for these dorm-style accommodations.
